You poor soul! From the frying pan to the fire. Everything comes down to scripture not only is catholicism not obeying the scriptures but they are anti- scriptural.

you ought to understand that the roman catholic church says that the pope is the sole interpreter of scripture. therefore your interpretation means nothing, according to them. the roman catholic church rejects the fact that Christ's death on the cross was enough for salvation. the roman catholic church rejects the fact that faith comes from God the Father alone. the roman catholic church denies that the word of God is enough, but that the catholic church is needed for faith and salvation by works, rituals ceremonies, doctrines and so on. the scriptures clearly find the roman catholic church in error on these.

Just a little history 1st Baptist are not reformed anything. All the Protestants came out of the catholic system. Baptist never did. 2nd being a Baptist member can't take away one sin, not one. 3rd Baptist are right because their doctrine is right. There have been different names of Christian groups that didn't go by the name Baptist, like the Politians and many others. But they believed the same. Ephesians 2:8-9 KJV For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: [9] Not of works, lest any man should boast.

Protestants still teaches these evil lies against the catholic Church today.

Yeah I’m sure it was that and not the church burning Protestants alive

So happy for you ❤

GOD BLESS YOU

Sad story.

Number 1 thing I keep seeing from Catholics. Pride & Idolatry. Notice you didn’t mention 1 word of Jesus Christ or the gospel of Christ. That is because you hold the name Catholic above the name of Jesus. Catholicism won’t save you. Only faith in Jesus Christ will save you.

Praise God! You and your wife returned home. God’s One Church is filled with grace. May you and your wife experience it fully

@@eddyrobichaud5832 This doesn't appear to be a Sad Story.......

empackmanmueller: Praise be to Almighty God for what he did for you and his wife ! God bless you, this is so wonderful ! Greetings from Germany. I was also a cradle catholic, left the church and came back later after I had seen Lord Jesus in my sleep. That was in America and underneath me was a very devout Philippino living, he prayed day and night for his fellowmen to come to the faith ! Lets all pray for our brothers and sisters !

Is your relationship with Christ the savior or the church ? Getting a relationship with Jesus is what counts and having an emotional church experience feels good but it is Christ we are to follow .Confession is to God not a man standing in for God, Salvation is a one time event ( Gift ) not a succession of events leading to salvation. read God's word the scriptures and follow Christ as He said to in the gospels.

*R Catholicism has nothing to do with God and His Words. R Catholic Church contradicts Scriptures in every possible ways!* 1. Catholics say Mary was sinless. But BIBLE says Mary offered a sinner's offering. She was a sinner. Bible says Mary needed a Saviour. Lk 2:23-24, Lev 12:6-8, Rom 3:10. 2. Catholics say clergies must be celibate. Yet BIBLE says Peter (supposed R Church first leader) had mother in law. Bible says celibacy is not a qualification for clergies. Mat 8:14-15, Mar 1:30-31, Luk 4:38-39. 3. Catholics say Mary was forever virgin. Yet BIBLE says Jesus had brothers and sisters. Mary was not perpetually virgin. Mk 6:3, Mat 13:55, Mat 27:56, Mar 6:3, Mar 15:40, Mar 15:47. 4. Catholics say confess to R priests in a box. BIBLE says nothing about confessing to priests in a box. Bible says confess to GOD only. 1 John 1:9, Mat 6, Romans 10:9-10. 5. Catholics say drink of the physical blood of Jesus. Yet OT and NT both say do not drink blood. Acts 15, Lev 7:26. 6. Catholics say pray to passed on Mary and "saints". Yet BIBLE says do not contact the dead. NT Church did not record a single case of NT believers asking passed on saints to pray for them. Deut 18:11, Isaiah 8:19. 7. Catholics make and bow down to statues. BIBLE says do not bow down to graven images (statues). Deut 4, Exo 20:4-5. 8. Catholics sprinkles “holy water”. But NT Church of the Bible mentioned nothing about “holy water”. There was no record of any Apostles sprinkling “holy water” on believers. Catholics claimed “holy water” came from OT. Yet Num 5:17 says “holy water” was water used to test adulterous women in OT temple. Hardly the same. Those were for Old Covenant Jews. Not New Testament Christians. 9. Catholics say Peter was pope - bishop of all bishops. Yet BIBLE says Peter was just a leader of the Jerusalem Church. Bible says nothing of the office of bishop of bishops. Gal 2:9, Mat 16:18. 10. Catholics say there is a seat of Peter. Yet BIBLE says nothing about it. Jesus said “not to lord over others”. 11. Catholics has clergy priesthood. Bible says clergy priesthood was done away with in New Testament. There is no clergy priesthood in NT. Heb 7:27, 9:12, 10:10. 12. Catholics preaches Works Salvation (faith + good works + partake R sacraments + submit to R pontiff + be in R Church + devote to Mary = to be saved). Yet Bible says “believe in Jesus to be saved”. Bible says Works Salvation is cursed. Gal 1:8-9. Acts 16:30-31, John 3:16, Romans 10:9-10. 13. Catholics says they must do Penance to atone for their sins. Yet Bible says repent, confess and sins will be forgiven. Catholic Bible changes the word “repentance” in NT into “penance”. Original Greek NT does not use or mean the word penance. Penance = work to atone for sins. Repentance = change of heart. 1 John 1:9, Mat 6. 14. Catholics say Mary went straight to heaven without dying. Yet Bible says nothing about it. 15. Catholics say Islam and Christianity have the same GOD. Yet Islam doesn't believe in death and resurrection of Jesus and Trinity.

There is no doubt Converts become the best Catholics. My wife was Southern Baptist and she converted. I think it has something to do with thinking this thing out. We cradle Catholics are just told this is what you do and what you are.

@@anthonybatulis6516 No such thing as Catholics or Baptists. There are only believers & non-believers. Those who believe on Jesus Christ for salvation are believers. Those who believe on their religion are non-believers.

Amen to that! I too am a cradle Catholic and I always love listening to converts because I learn from them and see hear what was it for them to come to the Catholic faith. I have see with almost all of them, as you have mentioned, a fire for God and the church because they appreciate what born cradle Catholics have taken for granted and that’s what I want to learn from them. It saddens me that other Christians look at the Catholic Church as being evil and demonic and yet you have Protestants, evangelicals, and non-denominational who were on fire for their respective places and have beautiful conversion stories and it’s like how could they see it but others couldn’t.

SO true! like me. praise Mary mother of god, and our beloved father, Jesus Christ. all protestants do is Oppose Catholisism . every time i get in a debate with Scriptural basis of faith, and the history of the original Christian religeon, I WIN!!!!

Hey it's because you don't know your bible that's why

You went from one man made religion to another man made religion. I’m a believer in Christ. I am obligated to no other, but the gospel of Christ.

Be it known: through the Holy Spirit, God has put it on me to preach to those lost in the devil's deceit! Hear me when I say, ye that are Catholic have been deceived and know not God. Ye worship Mary, praying to her; when God tells his to worship none other than him. It is idolatry. Catholicism has it's own Bible and teachings, which are blasphemous to the word of God: the Holy Bible. As ye follow the teachings of man and not God; ye hear the pope, but not Jesus, yet ye claim to be his disciples! These are but a few things I named ye dwell within; there are many more. I tell you now to repent of your sins, accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, and you'll receive the gift of the Holy Spirit upon asking the Father! There are *NO* sub-divisions of Christianity. You're either a disciple of Christ or not. A Christian is someone who follows God's word, not a religion. Who obey the Father and follow his will; not man's nor their own heart's. Unless you keep Jesus' commandments, think not the Holy Spirit will dwell within you! They who heed this message and did what was stated with an open heart to God... Read the Holy Bible (KJV) daily and every time before you read, pray to the Father and ask: "Lord I ask that you give me understanding of your word, that I interpret it the way you want me to, and none of my own. I ask you in Jesus' name, amen." Revelation 22:8-9 KJV 8 And I John saw these things, and heard them. And when I had heard and seen, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel which shewed me these things. 9 Then saith he unto me, See thou do it not: for I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren the prophets, and of them which keep the sayings of this book: worship God. Acts 2:38 KJV 38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. Luke 11:13 KJV 13 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him? John 14:21-24 KJV 21 *He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.* 22 Judas saith unto him, not Iscariot, Lord, how is it that thou wilt manifest thyself unto us, and not unto the world? 23 Jesus answered and said unto him, *If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.* 24 He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and *the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father's which sent me.* 3 John 1:11 KJV 11 Beloved, follow not that which is evil, but that which is good. *He that doeth good is of God: but he that doeth evil hath not seen God.* 1 John 3:6-10 KJV 6 *Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him.* 7 Little children, let no man deceive you: *he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.* 8 He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. 9 *Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.* 10 *In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God,* neither he that loveth not his brother.

@@timothyblack3322 None of the sects have 100% truth when it comes to the worship of our Lord. But I have come to find that the Catholic Church is the worst of them all. If ever there is a church that bends the rules, completely ignores scripture and downright refuses to follow the word of God, it IS the catholic church. It has led billions astray with it's fake gospel that damns and man-made dogmas.

You don't need a pastor or ministers guidance. Just read about the vile actions and lives lead by many pope's and make up your own mind. The pope is supposed to be infallible after all and Christ's representative on earth.

@@WHU63 Hi. The Pope is infallible only in declarations on faith and morals and these statements are with support from bishops and very, very rare. The Popes throughout history have included some very mixed up and sinful person's for sure. Are you a sinner? So is the Pope. So was Peter, the first Pope handpicked by our Savior, Jesus Christ. At least we have Him in common even if you are confused on what the Catholic Church really teaches and believed. Blessings!!

@TotoFrancey Catholicism is NOT Christianity. At best it can be described as ancestral worship. With that being said, Idolatry is also rampant in this institution. Read the bible and you will understand why they hate its authority.

@@wesleysimelane3423 Please do some reading on the history of the early church. Everything you said is incorrect!

@@WHU63 The media and non-Catholics are the only ones who say that the Pope is infallible. Pope Francis said just a couple of weeks ago that he is a sinner. He is human after all. In the 2,000 year history of the Catholic Church, only a handful of times has something been declared infallible. If something that a pope says or writes is thought to be infallible, it is thoroughly investigated by the Church. And that investigation may even take years before a decision is made. Jesus is the Head of the Catholic Church. The Pope only runs it. We show him respect but we worship the Lord. God Bless you!

@@JC-li8kk In the book of Acts and the Epistles it is the story of the first Christians praying together, taking communion together, living together (The Eucharist), forgiving each other. All under the leadership of St Peter. Not needing religion and relying on your own personal relationship with Jesus (open to personal interpretation and heresy) is not Biblical. Paul's letters advocate the opposite. That is what is the seed of the above. May the Grace of God and the Peace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you always.

@@Archangelatis I said salvation. I didn’t say to disregard every other command. But salvation itself is through faith in Christ alone.

@@JC-li8kk 20 You foolish person, do you want evidence that faith without deeds is useless[a]? 21 Was not our father Abraham considered righteous for what he did when he offered his son Isaac on the altar? 22 You see that his faith and his actions were working TOGETHER, and his faith was made complete by what he did. 23 And the scripture was fulfilled that says, “Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness,”[b] and he was called God’s friend. 24 You see that a person is considered righteous by what they do and NOT by faith alone. . . . . . . .

RCIA classes begin in September at most Catholic parishes. By attending you can ask questions and get answers without any commitment until you're ready. They continue until Easter, so you have a lot of time and information given before that day. Usually by then a decision is made and most enter the Church at that time. Some take more time to discern, and that's ok. Some walk away and we just love them, pray for them and wish them the best. Check it out.

catholicism isn't Christianity, Eduardo.

If Catholicism isn't Christianity then you call Jesus a liar, "And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it." Who was first Catholicism or the +40,000 denominations that came after the "Reformation?" Was not Manasseh the eldest and Ephraim the younger? Was not Manasseh the father of a great tribe and made their dwelling on both sides of the Jordan? Was not Ephraim the father of many nations (denominations)? Did they not they get the same blessing from Jacob; Manasseh by the left hand and Ephraim by the right? We are all brothers and sisters in Christ thus all are Christian. Why have you struck against me? What have I done to you? Haven't our fathers seen the same risen Christ as Balaam's donkey saw the warrior angel with sword in hand; as did Balaam after the donkey's tongue was loosed? Idolary is not only setting up false Gods but also setting up false devils. How long will you people turn my glory into shame? How long will you love delusions and seek what is false?

@@eduardohoover2127 incorrect. the topic of this passage is Peter's Confession - Jesus Christ - not Peter. this passage isn't stating what you think it is. the bulk of Scripture proves it. *Happy Sabbath!!!* you have to remember, the system which pretends Jesus' church is built upon Peter is a system which doesn't know God, doesn't love Christ and doesn't walk in Truth.

@@tony1685 If what you say is true why did Jesus change Peter's name from Simon to Cephas meaning stone? Buildings were built of stone in Jesus time and so is the Christ's Church, spiritually speaking. So maybe to keep Peter humble his name means pebble. We see Peter taking charge of the Church replacing Judas Iscariot's position with Mathias. We see Peter taking charge at Pentecost to baptize those receiving the Spirit. Why did Jesus ask Peter to feed His sheep? The good shepherd was turning His ministry over to Peter.

@@eduardohoover2127 would you like for me to show you more reasons this can't be? does it matter what Scripture shows us? or will you just ignore this - as i've asked you this once already. does God's church know God, love Christ and walk in Truth - or do they not? (according to Scripture)

@TitaMcdo & Bob If the weblink you posted explains Catholic dogma, then show me from the Bible where it explains that it's acceptable to worship statues and relics. If you can't, _that_ explains why you are choosing to hide behind a weblink. So sad.

@@theroadtodamascus7710 do you see Jesus talking about catholic religion ? No because he isn't.

@@eddyrobichaud5832 So is it a problem for you that the word "Catholic" (universal) is not in the bible? The word "trinity" is also not in the bible, so do you have a problem with that too? Speaking of the Bible, it was the Catholic "universal" Church, guided by the Holy Spirit, that decided which of the many writings circulating in the first century were to be considered as the inspired word of God and to be included in the canon of Sacred Scripture. This process took several centuries. Without the Catholic Church we would not even have the Bible (you're welcome!). From the very beginning, the Church Fathers throughout the Christian world, East and West, in every century, asserted and defended that Christ founded only one, united Church, holding the same Faith, and under the same government of bishops, which they all called the Catholic [“Universal”] Church, whose communion every Christian was obligated to keep, and outside of which there was no salvation. A question for you. Where is justification by faith alone in the bible? There is no teaching of "faith ALONE" in the Bible. Moreover, just think of the significance that this was also not taught by a single Christian, (including the early church fathers who either personally knew some apostles or were taught by those who did), for over 1500 years. More imprtantly, this man made doctrine of protestants is clearly contradicted in James 2:24. The only place in the entire Bible where the words "faith alone" are found, the words "NOT BY" are right in front of them. Also you have Matthew 12:36 and 37 where Jesus speaking in the context of the final judgement, says in v37, "by your words you will be justified, by your words you will be condemed". Words are more than just faith. That's something you say, something you do. In Romans 2:6 and 7, St. Paul says "God will reward each man according to his works. To him who continues in good works, his reward shall be glory, incorruption, and everlasting life". There St.Paul says everlasting life is a reward for good works. Now, is faith involved? Of course it is. It is essential to believe in Christ. "We are justified by faith", Romans 5:1 says, but the problem for protestants is that "faith ALONE" is nowhere to be found. In Galatians 6:7 for example, St.Paul says, "Let no man be deceived: God is not mocked. Whatsoever a man SOWS, that shall he reap. If he continues to SOW to the flesh, he shall of the flesh reap death; if he continues to SOW to the Spirit, he shall of the Spirit reap reap everlasting life. Let us therefore not grow weary in well-doing, for we shall reap the reward if we faint not" . So, your problem is that you have a confused 16th century monk, who was so far removed from the apostles and the early Church fathers, that his justification by "faith alone", which was his most important doctrine, was absolutely false and absolutely un-biblical. Also, don't forget, Jesus didn't hand over a bible, he gave us a CHURCH. Jesus said in Matthew 18:15-18 "....and the one who fails to hear the Church shall be a heathen and a publican". In other words, Jesus established the Church to be His authority to speak for Him; that's exactly what we see in the book of Acts in chapter 15, where there was a heresy that threatened to tear a fledgling church apart in Antioch. When Paul and Barnabas could not settle it, what did they do? They had a council and the Church declared on the matter, and the matter was settled. So as a matter of history, it is clear that the Catholic "universal" Church was started by Jesus in 33AD.

Good!!!! Check out book Why We Are Catholic by Trent Horn

What does she mean “This is my body. Unless you eat you cannot enter the kingdom of heaven?” Is there some hidden Catholic practice I’m unaware of?

@@JC-li8kk there is no hidden Catholic practice ,actually its the opposite. We celebrate what Jesus left for us to do until his return publicly every day around world. “Do this in rememberance of me; i will be with you until the end of time” We are the Universal Church the owns its unbreakable history, we are the Church of the Apostles, we protect their tombs, we are the Church of Mary and the Saints, we are the Church of mysteries and Miracles. We are the Church of Christ.

@@hectoribanez5954 Yes, but most, if not all, Protestants also take communion in remembrance of Jesus. That’s why I’m confused as to why she mentioned this as a reason she converted to Catholic.

@@JC-li8kk protestants take communion as a symbol because they have no authority to bless the bread. Priest have been given authority since the apostles through the imposition of hands. Catholics teach real presence and they teach symbol. Look up eucharistic miracles and you will see how Jesus has made him present through the bread to remind us that he is here guiding his Church in one faith. Don’t you find strange that every protestant church teaches something different? Thats because they are all founded by men. Google who founded the Catholic Church, even Siri knows the Truth.

@@hectoribanez5954 most Protestants believe faith in Jesus is the only way to salvation, & once saved you are filled with the Holy Spirit who will lead you & guide you into all Truth. In the grand scheme of things that is more important than all the little things Catholics & Protestants disagree with. Those whose faith is in Christ alone are the real church & will have eternal life, whether you label yourself Catholic or Protestant. A label means nothing. Faith working through love is the only thing that counts.

hurts my heat when one falls to this counterfeit 'church'. if only people would read the Bible and study His Truth....

@Tony: Which Protestant sect has the truth? All Protestant faith expressions claim to be guided by Sacred Scripture yet no two sects believe the same thing. Can it be the Holy Spirit teaches the Baptists one thing, the Presbyterians another thing, and the SDA something entirely different? Of course not! I’ve read the Bible in three languages and I call your attention to John 17:21 and Ephesians 4:4-5 which talk about Christian unity. Jesus, Our Lord, founded only ONE Church. Why don’t you look into historical Christianity instead of this American version of it? Maybe you’ll be the next to make a Catholic conversion video.

@@johnflorio3052 first question - 'Truth'? - i will show you, but first i have to ask: does it matter? in other words, if i show you clearly from God's Word, what Truth is, do you even plan on following It - though it's clear and plain to see? 2nd paragraph - no. the Spirit of Truth will never teach contrary His Word. now there are levels of understanding, comprehension. i didn't grasp a lot until i studied the Sabbath through and totally excepted It as Truth. then all others information was made obvious. 4th - yes, He founded one group of people, the Remnant. in other word, they are a portion of that which existed. so do you see His church praying to humans in the Bible? pretending a sinner can forgive 3rd party sins? pretending another day is Holy? No, of course not! 5th - i did look at what you're calling 'historical' Christianity - i was catholic 35 yrs. now that i've studied the Words of the real HIStory, i believe the Word of Truth over that nonsense. thanks for your post! and for this evening - *Happy Sabbath!!!* am praying you're always looking to learn about Truth, Sir!

@Jack Bennett We’d love to have you. What’s stopping you from converting?

Small theological differences. Little differences that have absolutely nothing to do with salvation. When I surrendered my life to Jesus Christ (2nd person in the triune Godhead), I joined the body of Christ, not the body of Christ as defined by a denomination, but as defined by Christ echoed by Paul. Some think it's supposed to be Catholic, some think it's supposed to be Mesianic Torah observant including the celebration of the feasts, some think it's evangelical or the body must be charismatic. I joined the body of Christ with Christ as the head and ALL genuine converts (Catholic, orthodox, Baptist, Presbyterian, Gospel, Messianic) as the body. If I swear an oath of allegiance to one denomination than I dilute my ability to persuade folks to GO to the cross of Christ personally, and go to the father through our high priest who is Jesus. Anyone who confesses Christ as Lord is my brother and sister, Catholics and Protestants included.

Yes, It is because you do not want to partake with the sufferings of Christ, so you detach from the responsibilities of the true worshipper. That is why Satan will like you so much so he will give you all the comfort that you desire.

@@alanpadilla8793 What? Catholics participate in a re-presentation of Jesus’ one sacrifice on the cross at every Mass (no, we don’t re-crucify Him)! We receive Him, Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity in the Eucharist! What do you do? Sit and listen to someone talking for 30 minutes or more?

The term Roman is used because the Head of Bishop is in Rome and is called Pope. But as you say yes "Catholic" is more senseable now a days.

Exactly, Protestant reformers went out from us as they weren’t of us.

Rewinds the tape to 1517...

Scott Han--- I read his book and it seemed like, and I later found out it was so, that his branch of the Presbyterian Church was quite Liberal, so I felt that his augment against Protestantism was a bit of a "Straw Man Argument". While I was reading I was always saying to myself "oh no, how could he have made THAT mistake".

heartbreaking when one leaves Christianity. catholicism isn't Christianity.

@@tony1685 Ignatius of Antioch (3rd Bishop of Antioch, circa 107 AD) while on his way to be martyred in Rome writes to the church in Smyrna: "See that you all follow the bishop, even as Jesus Christ does the Father, and the presbytery as you would the apostles; and reverence the deacons, as being the institution of God. Let no man do anything connected with the Church without the bishop. Let that be deemed a proper Eucharist, which is administered either by the bishop, or by one to whom he has entrusted it. Wherever the bishop shall appear, there let the multitude of the people also be; even as wherever Jesus Christ is, there is the Catholic Church" - (Letter to the Smyrnaeans, Chapter 8).

When things that are written in the church's main teaching material (the bible) are not clear to you, the church could refer you to other teaching materials. In Protestantism, once you're chocked, you can only resort to circular argument. You have nowhere else to go without violating the 500-year old doctrine of sola scriptura. The church maintains sacred scripture and the apostolic tradition (from where the scripture came). What bible did church leaders such as Peter, James, John, Mark, Matthew Paul, Timothy, Titus, Polycarp, Clement, Ignatius, and others use when they were leading the church in the first and second centuries AD?

@@Lerian_V _'When things that are written in the church's main teaching material are not clear to you, the church could refer you to other teaching materials.'_ incorrect - Isaiah 28 explains how the Bible is taught. and it's done by Scripture - the Bible proves and defines the Bible. in other words, there are basics which aren't to be tampered with - Exodus 20 - Ten Commandments. however, if one doesn't have these basics down, then why try to teach them the more deep elements of Truth? it's like teaching algebra to one who can't add nor subtract! and yes, Sola Scriptura is 100% sufficient - or did our Creator not provide us with what is sufficient to make one 'complete' - 2 Timothy 3:17 ??? _'The church maintains sacred scripture....'_ - your 'church' violates It. God's church upholds It - this is what 2 Tim 3:16 clearly shows! or are you in denial of this basic Truth? and apostolic tradition is fine - so long as it doesn't contradict the Word of Truth - Isaiah 8:20, Deut 4:2, 12:32, Rev 22:18. i use to believe all the nonsense you're posting as well. then i turned to Christ and became Christian. it's all a choice, Sir.

And nice to think that salvation is not limited to one part of your family.

Thank you for your reply. I do understand that Catholic theology says that salvation comes through Christ but my experience with my Catholic friends is that they are deficient in reading holy scripture, don’t really understand the gospel message and think or hope that the church is going to save them if they are good enough. My understanding of Catholic theology is that Mary is also a co-redemptress with Christ for salvation. You really didn’t answer my question about Christ’s body being the bread. People could be shocked at what He said but that doesn’t make it true. Seems like you traded in Sola scriptura for church tradition

She is pretty!!!

I hope you did get confirmed. If you are being told the new testament is better than the old, go to a different rcia group ( even if you are confirmed). The new testament fulfills the old, it doesn't replace it. We need both to understand both. The Holy Spirit will guide you.

To know the Bible is to leave the Catholic Church. You don't realize how right you are though. People who read extra biblical books by the "fathers" do often times become catholic. Many Protestants are just "reformed" catholics and I always say that reformed theology is a bridge back to Rome.This is because they love the traditions of men rather than the word of God much like the pharisees in Jesus's day. Matthew 15:8-9 8 This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me.
